The Air Jordan Alpha 1 will be copped!

[zageretokintaman]

Received mines yesterday, comfy but less than what I expected for a full lenght zoom air + phylon sole, still way more comfy than regular retro 1s (except forthe stealth red and grey, dropped in 2007 which had some kind of specific, and really responsive, foot molded insole), but maybe they need to be used a littleto become fully flexible and responsive.
Visually they look a little bit weird at first sight, almost no stitiching, big holes, weird upper material (leather ? foam ? But totally waterproof, I'vebeen under rain for 30 minutes with these, my foot was completely dry), but put on foot they look alright and you easily get used to them. I guess that theseare really good for ballin but I would advice ppl to wait for price drop ...

[super23freak]

I didn't realize people were hating on these. I think they are finally a cool concept, vs. the fusions, nu-retros, etc.

 

[lbj19]

What does the white/university blue look like? Any pics? Thanks

Took them to the hardwood last Friday and I was amazed with the shoe, very light, excelent ankle support and zoom is very very good. Hardwood was very dusty but the sole has a very very good grip.

I took them outdoors today and just confirmed what I found on Friday: Aphas are a great balling shoe!! I never had any 1's so I don't know about balling on 1's but Im pretty sure this pair can be used as a regular balling shoe without any regrets.

I will cop 2 extra pairs!!
  

 

[crazy ebw]

Damnit you guys are really making me want to play in my pair.

 

[Mister Meaner]

ok, so now that's 2 c/w's I want.

BTW, these are just sitting at my local spot. I'm not gonna waste my or another person's money when I'm fairly sure these will hit some kind of sale. I'm very tempted though. Those up there are mean!

 

[village1600]

they look good to hoop in

 

[kenji714]

Cop when they hit 70 $ or even 49.99 at Nordstrom rack

 

[alexanderfasto]

First I didn't like the perforated leather, but got to see them in a Footlocker and they really look nice very soft, sturdy, and the air zoom, wow! lightweight
Maybe a cop or wait for sale! really don't know, I have to stick with my list

 

[frenchblue23]

Will wait until a fat discount is applied on these.

There's too many shoes to buy this year.

 

[crazy ebw]

JB needs to get players promoting these. Then everybody will want to jump on them.

 

[djstimpy]

did any body buy the alpha id's?

 

[airberg]

any info on these? can't seem to find much online but saw these on shoetrends. they are the "tinker hatfield edition".

[mjvc]

From what i heard they drop the 15th. As you stated those are the Tinker Hatfield Edition. Not sure how available they will be. Also to add I think I read where he designed the colors for them. I'm not sure if its white or the Alpha White like on the ID's.

 

[stuntin07]

Yea these are hot. Probably the only 1's you can actually ball in

 

[crazy ebw]

I need more pics of those tinkers! Haven't heard anything about those. The 15th of Feb? That's a monday...

 

[crazy ebw]

Shoetrends has them listed as Feb 22 release. What's retail on these gonna be??

 

[agent0024]
